PRETTY STEADY DIET.
Sensations of a Traveller Who Lived for
Many Weeks on Irish Stew.

Sensations of Traveller Who Lived for
Many Weeks on Irish Stew.
Talking about things to eat, said
passenger from the East, ''let me tell
you of an experience 1 had once. Five
or six years ago l took passage on a
clipper ship from Baltimore to Bremen.
L was the only passenger, and, of
course, had to dine with the captain
and the mate. The fare at first was
simple, but endurable. The third day
out the captain called the cook in.
Cook said he, with an oath, why
haven't you had any Irish stews?'
cause didn't know you wanted EN-
replied the cook. But I do want EN-
the captain went on, with another oath;
'and I'm going to have 'em. Iwant an
Irish stew on the table every meal the
rest of this voyage-d'ye hear? Irish
stew every meal
''And Irish stew it was. We had
per. For a day or two it was well
enough. At the end of a week I was
tired of stew. At the end of two weeks
/ loathed it. At the end of the third
week the very sight of it gagged me.
Once ventured to hint to the captain
that 1 would like change, but the
cursing l got-he was terrible man
silenced me forever. 1t was Irish stew
all the way from Baltimore to Bremen
-thirty-five days in all. Some days 1
went without food-some days L man
aged to choke down a moHthful or two
of it. BY going by sailing vessel in
stead of passenger steamer saved fifty
dollars on the passage, but when L ar
rived in Bremen weighed twenty-nine
pounds less than when 1 left Baltimore.
L have never tasted Irish stew since,
and never will again. Chicago Herald.

When the tree is planted the
branches should be cut back to form a
regular head, and if they are pinched
back so as to keep the tree symmetrical,
and only such branches are allowed to

In trimming hedges the shears sell

The Predictions of the Blaine-Sherman>
ties Regarding the Country's Ruin.
Instead of showing that the predic-
tions of the Blaines and the Shermans
that a change by the people in their
Government would bring disaster upon
all business enterprises the record OF
failures for the last six years seems to
prove that the change was made just in
time to save the country from whole
sale ruin. In 1881 the number of fail
ures was 1929. In 1882 this had in
creased to 1855. In 1883 the number
had risen to 1O,299. In 1884 there was
another increase to IL, 62O, and in 1885,
the first year of the new regime, the
failures dropped to II, ITO, to be sue
ceeded in 1886 by another drop to 1O,-
56S. In the last four years of the rule
which the croakers sought to convince
the people they could not get along
without the commercial disasters near
ly doubled. In the first two years of
the new management they have de-
creased by more than one thousand.
Probably by another two years they
will be back again to the place where
they started in 1880.
These figures are neither new nor
surprising to men of intelligence and
fairness, for the ascendancy of any
party which represents the majority of
the people will not be injurious to their
business or any other interest, but they
need to be hammered into the heads of
the men who have attempted to teach
the vicious doctrine that changes in
party government are apt to hurt any
body except the politicians. The proof
here submitted that things were grow
ing worse with great rapidity under
Republican rule. and that under Dem
ocratic rule they have improved slowly
but surely proves nothing but the pro-
pensity of party worshippers to make
fools of themselves on very slight pro-
vocation.
If the improvement should go on the
Democratic Blaines and Shermans will
need to be warned not to make the
same mistakes that have now been
shown up in the case of their adver-
saries. No one party is necessary to
the prosperity of the American people.

The "BIasterIy" Way an Which the Ponn-
syIvania Republicans are Preparing
Their Party for Defeat.

The Mastery Way IN Which the Pcnn-
syIvania Republicans are Preparing
Their Party for Defeat.
With big majorities at their COM
mand the Republicans of New York
and Pennsylvania have just demon
strated that they have learned nothing
by recent National defeat. The loss OF
the Presidency on their part was due
as much to the widespread popular
impression that the men at the head OF
the Republican organization were
unworthy as to any other cause. Ii
was hoped by many of the boilers OF
1884 that temporary defeat would send
some of these fellows to the rear, but
in the light of recent events in two OF
the principal States in the Union there
seems to be no reason to look for such
a result.
In New York State the assembly has
Just reelected to the Speakership the
odorous j. w. Hustled, of Westchester
County. than whom no legislator in the
last ten years has obtained a more
questionable reputation. His methods
have all been obnoxious to decency and
uprightness in politics, and he never
yet gained place of prominence in
his party without encountering the
protests of the best elements thereof.
In Pennsylvania Matthew S. Quay,
longtime henchman of the Cameron
gang, has been elected to the United
States Senate almost without oppOsi-
ton. He has been associated with all
the scandals of Republican rule in that
State for twenty years, and has on AL
occasions proved himself a willing and
an efficient tool of the corrupt bosses
against whose methods the election of
Governor Pattison in 1881 was pro-
test. AS a lobbyist Quay has long been
unfavorably known to the people, and
as politician of the most extreme and
reckless type he has commended him.

now concluded to give him his re-
ward. 1t was Quay who worked
hand in hand with the notorious Kem-
BILE in lobbying through the Pennsylva-
mia Legislature the $4,000 900 grab for
the alleged settlement of riot losses in
Pittsburgh. For his part in that labor

of the Board of the State, had rcso-
luton in favor of Kemble's release
ready for the Governors signature be-
fore the culprit had been removed from
the court where sentence had been
passed upon him.
In the case of Hustled disposition to
adhere to an old and disappointed poll
tician is the worst that can be charged
against his party. In the case of Quay
the situation is different. Nothing but
a slavish submission to the dictation of
the Camerons, which would have in
duced the Legislature to select any
creature whom they might name, can
explain the elevation of such man
TO the Senate. A party so welded to
it's old-time idols, smeared all over
and broken as they are, is evidently
for another licking

EARTHQUAKE THEORIES
Some OF Those That Have Reen Urged Upon
the Nations Auth critics.


Borne OF Those That Have Reen Urged Upon
the Nations Auth critics.
Since the Charleston earthquake the
newspapers of the land have teemcd
with earthquake theories. Earthquakes
have been ascribed to the explosion of
gases in the interior of the earth, TO the
falling of caverns. to collapse due to
the extraction of gases and oils by
wells; they haze been ascribed to in
terror electricity, as if they were light
ming strokes; they have been ascribed
to meteorologic conditions, as if storms
have beaten down the foundations of
the earth; they have been ascribed to
astronOmic causes, as if the sun and
moon were tearing the earth to pieces
in fierce combat; and. finally, they have
been ascribed to astrologic causes
occult phases of the planets. Then
earthquakes have bsn personified.
One pundit sent his quaking demon on
journey from Eastern Asia under
the depths of the Pacific and on
by the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Noun
tains, where it stopped in the Yellow
stone Park to set off a geyser; then on
through the valley of the Missis-
sippi and the Appalachian Mount
aims until it reached the depths beneath
Charleston, where it expired in convul-
sions. Other pundits became prophets
and foretold dire calamities. A collec-
ton of this Hydrologic literature sent
to the writer would make several vol
umes. 1t is strange that these whim-
steal vagaries should have such circu-
lation, as if all the hidden history of
earthquakes had been destroyed and
forgotten, and as if the science of ge-
ology, with its libraries of facts had not
been born. An earthquake is start
ling phenomenon, and fills the soul
with terror, as the foundations of the
earth are broken up and the very type
of stability becomes unstable, and eX-
perience organized into intuition is be-
lied. Under such circumstances the
imaginations of men run riot; fools are
philosophers and charlatans are lead
ers of thought. Such is the lesson de-
rived from the earthquake literature of
the months succeeding the catastrophe
at Charleston. / have seen tribe of
Indians dance and howl all the night
long about the body of man pros
trated with fever, all led by Il ''mcdi-
cine man." who from time to time per-
formed tricks that were interpreted as
miracles; and the fury of the orgy was
kept at Il white heat. 1t has been a sad
reflection that man, even in the savage
state, could thus be made to believe Il
lie, and still to believe another and an
other, from day to day and from hour
to hour of a whole life, when in each
case the evidence for its combination
was so near ut hand. But the savage
scene had its parallel among a terror
stricken people, as they waited for an
earthquake on the word of weather

WOODEN SHOES.
The Profitable Monopoly Enjoyed by the

The Profitable Monopoly Enjoyed by the
HolIanders at Clymer, y. Y.
In the town of Clymer, Chautauqua
County, n. Y, is a large settlement of
Hollanders, the older members of which
brought from their fatherland the SIM
pie manners and industrious habits
which have always been characteristic
of that race. Nearly without exception
they are engaged in general farming
and dairying, and to supplement their
farm labors- they have introduced an in
dustry which Is carried on in no other
place in the Union. This is the making
of the wooden shoes or clogs which are
so common in Holland and some other
foreign countries. During the coolest
days and the long winter evenings these
Hollanders ply their knives and
s.shaves'' almost without cessation.
The business is really monopoly and
of late it has proved very profitable,
the demand for the clumsy shoes for
decorative purposes not only largely
enhancing their value, which the shrewd
Dutchmen were quick to see, but in
creasing the number called for very
materially. The woods used are bass
wood and cucumber. Each shoe is
bored and cut from single block.
They become so well seasoned that a
pair made in the best manner is almost
indestructible. The bulk of these shoes
is handled by dealer in Cory, Pa,
and large number are sent direct &c
the Philadelphia market. 1t also re-
quires great many to supply the wants
of the colony itself, as the shoes are

BmaIl-SouIed Republicans Who Have Been
Retained in once Afeanly AssaiIing the
administration
Some fool friends of Republican ex-
chiefs of divisions at Washington whose
places have been given to supporters of
the Administration, while they have
been retained as chief clerks at salaries
but slightly !nss than those they have
formerly received, have for some time
back been sending slush to Republican
Journals, telling how incompetent the
new chiefs are and how essential the
ex-ehiefs are to the continued efficiency
of the divisions.
To man not wholly blinded by par
tisanship, the fact that these chiefs of
divisions have been retained in office at
good pay and have been given positions
where they are protected by the civil
service rules as long as they behave
themselves, would seem to demonstrate
the earnest desire of the Administra-
ton to reform the abuses of the
<tspoils'' system. To one not affected
with this partisan obliquity of vision,
the distinction between an office which
involves immediate personal response
bility to the head of the bureau or de-
partment, and which. therefore, re-
quires personal trust and confidence,
and a merely clerical position is well
marked and easily apprehended. A
head of department may very we'll
desire that his chiefs of division shall
be men upon whose fidelity he may
rely and who will be in sympathy with
his administrative methods, and not
the legacies of former administration
and at the same time conscientiously
strive to enforce Civil-Service principles
as applied to department work gener-
ally. Ankwhen he takes pains to pro-
vide displaced ex-chiefs with good cler-
ical positions, it does not fit the Repub-
lcan mouth very well to assail him for
these acts of graciousness.
The statement that the Administra-
ton or any department thereof is de-
pendent upon these Republican ex-
chiefs for the efficient conduct of affairs
is simple nonsense. If they think the
Government can not get along without
them, or if they do not think their
present pay is great enough. there is
no law whatever against their resign
ing.-DetrOU Free Press.
